cooling waste carbon asset As climate disasters intensify—scorching heatwaves ruining crops, the urgency for game-changing environmental strategies has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the warmest year in history, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “path to environmental catastrophe.” Amid this crisis, the first CDR startup in Vietnam emerges as a trailblazer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling super-pollutants hidden in refrigerators.
carbon removal startup Vietnam CoolImpact is not just another green startup Southeast Asia. It’s a carbon removal startup Vietnam that transforms HFC emissions into verified credits. By addressing high-impact greenhouse gases, CoolImpact unlocks durable carbon removal in the Vietnam, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change
Coolimpact refrigerant recovery To appreciate HFC-based CDR, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are warming agents used in refrigerators, with a global warming potential (GWP) far more damaging than CO₂. As Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In the Global South, poor refrigerant management is widespread, accelerating global warming.
durable carbon removalVietnam generates massive quantities of F-gases annually from refrigeration systems. Most are released into the atmosphere, undermining Vietnam’s net-zero commitments. refrigerant management offers quick wins for cooling the planet, making it a urgent need for global climate action.
CoolImpact’s Solution: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits
refrigerant carbon creditsCoolImpact offers a community-driven solution by capturing refrigerants at the source. Partnering with local service providers, CoolImpact recovers gases into verified storage units, tracked via the CoolImpact App. These gases are then safely disposed of, with certification through robust monitoring.
This HFC-based CDR approach generates verified carbon credits for global markets. Unlike renewable energy credits, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on avoiding potent gas releases, offering rapid climate benefits. The tracking technology ensures accountability with features like technician authentication.
A prototype in action in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved the system’s effectiveness, moving it into reality. By fostering a collaborative climate model, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning social impact with environmental goals.
Business Model: Scaling Impact
first CDR startup in Vietnam employs a sustainable business model:
- Service charges from end-users.
- Carbon offset profit sharing with technicians.
- Carbon verification platform for other environmental programs.
By 2025, CoolImpact aims to expand operations across key urban centers, recovering thousands of kilograms of F-gases. By 2027, advanced digital tools will enhance the climate tech infrastructure. Long-term, regional expansion targets 1 million tCO₂e avoided by 2030, alongside 15+ developing nations served.
Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits
first CDR startup in Vietnam Each ton of F-gas processed avoids climate-damaging gases. For example, small-scale recovery equates to measurable carbon offsets. Long-term plans includes global impact by 2035, alongside community empowerment.
Additional advantages include:
- Reduced health risks.
- Rewarded professionals through shared credits.
- Workforce development in climate services.
By turning refrigerants into climate value, CoolImpact supports a just transition carbon credits.
